The Express: The way the BLCC office-bearers were chosen is an obvious
deviation from the BLCC
constitution.
Wah Kiu Yat Po: The BLCC office-bearer
controversies may have been arisen from
different interpretations of the term "elections".
This shows that there is
a need to step up the communication between
China and HK.
HK Times: The "BLCC scandal" has taught HK people a lesson and help them understand the real
nature of the communists and their policy towards HK.
Mr Edmund Chow of the Civic Association: The violation of the BLCC Constitution in the election of office- bearers for the consultative panel's standing committee is only a technical mistake and can be rectified.
BLCC member Philip Kwok: The election of office-bearers has not violated the BLCC Constitution. The list of office-bearers should be legal as it is accepted by all standing committee members present.
BLCC members Nick Griffin, Brian Tisdall, Kenneth Chow, William Tsui and 13 political opinion groups: Another election of the office-bearers of the BLCC standing committee should be conducted.
